Spooky September Challenge: Tribute to my favorite Horror Author

-

On the 2nd day of the spooky september challenge, hosted by Parajunkee ,  we pay tribute to our favorite horror authors. I decided on Anne Rice, who I cant believe I forgot to mention in the yesterdays post.

My first encounter with Anne Rice was through Interview with the vampire movie in 1995, which was the first horror movie my parents allowed me to watch and I was five at the time. I remember having nightmares about vampires attacking me. Yet still, I was fascinated. Eight years later, Queen of the damned came out and I was in love (and still am). QOTD is my favorite movie of all time, you really need to listen to that soundtrack. I decided to read Interview and I loved it. It was violent yet romantic in a way, scary yet beautiful and it was thoughtful. Then I read Vampire Lestas and that quickly turned into an obsession with vampires and Lestat. I have yet to read the rest of the Vampire Chronicles but these two books were enough, along with Pandora, to convince me that Anne Rice is the queen of vampires and horror.

Naked and Far from Home by J.P. Grider  Publication date: October 18th 2015  Genres: Contemporary, New Adult Synopsis: Tia Mercury was a freshman in high school and had her first serious crush – on a senior who wouldn’t touch her. At least not until she turned eighteen. Clinton Daniels was not your everyday teenage boy, and because his tougher-than-nails father wouldn’t let him forget it, Clinton became a loner. And learned to distrust everyone. Until he met Tia. She was sweet, she was funny, and she knew nothing about good music. It was the nineteen-eighties for goodness sake – time to turn off that AM radio crap. So, while Tia drooled over Clinton, he was busy making her mix-tapes. She was falling in love. He was ignoring his heart. See, Clinton had a secret. But sharing it could cost him their friendship, and he was not willing to risk losing the only person he ever loved. Naked and Far From Home is a serious story that spans a decade. A
